A Philosophy of the Spirit

Those who make compassion an essential part of their lives find the joy of life. 

Kindness deepens the spirit and 

produces rewards that cannot be completely explained in words. 

It is an experience more powerful than words. 

To become acquainted with kindness one must be prepared to learn new things 

and feel new feelings. 

Kindness is more than a philosophy of the mind. 

It is a philosophy of the spirit.  

—Robert J. Furey

Travel Light

This is today! What will tomorrow bring? Life arrives and departs on its own schedule, not ours; it's time to travel light, and be ready to go wherever it takes us.

 ― Meg Wolfe

Awaiting Transformation

Every single thing changes and is changing always in this world. Yet with the same light the moon goes on shining.

You Must Travel It By Yourself

Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you. 

You must travel it by yourself. 

It is not far. It is within reach. 

Perhaps you have been on it since you were born, 

and did not know. 

Perhaps it is everywhere - on water and land. 

~ Walt Whitman

Not every lake dreams to be an ocean. Blessed are the ones who are happy with whom they are.
